FAS Network. I need to upgrade from version 2014 to 2018. The documentation indicates that I need to upgrade to 2015, then 2016, then 2017, then 2018. Do any of you happen to know if I need to update the workstations after each version upgrade, or whether I can wait until the upgrade to 2018 to update the workstations?

I've had some problems with waiting, what if you uninstall the workstations first, then do the upgrade and run client installs after getting to current version.

I like that idea, @NancyHanson. I think I'll give it a try.

I have used the method @NancyHanson describes to jump multiple versions and it worked well.

Me, too - I've done the same as @NancyHanson with good results,

Based on a 4-5 version upgrade progression as listed by @KarenOLane, is the FAS - Depreciation Network upgrade a 2-hour, 4-hour, one-day or multi-day project with one to three workstations?

I had a FAS upgrade from 2013.1 to 2018 last week and we were able to go straight up with a single install. No need to install 2015, 2016, 2017 anymore. It's new. Check out the documentation.

I agree with @KathrynForadori , I have jumped multiple versions but only from 2015 to 2018. You can skip versioning. I would still go with @NancyHanson 's suggestion on the workstations though.

I find the documentation to be ambiguous. Or perhaps it is just that I am obtuse. Anyway, I decided to take the long path. I uninstalled 3 clients, upgraded on the server to 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, then installed 3 clients. It all worked. @MichaelMcDonald, the total process took 2 hours. Thanks to everyone for your replies!

Thank you @KarenOLane for sharing.
